AI Summary
This bill amends the Landlord and Tenant Act to require that eviction proceedings be sealed, meaning they are kept private and not publicly accessible, if a judge or jury (referred to as the "trier of fact") determines that the tenant has followed all the terms of their most recent written and signed lease agreement regarding the amount and timing of rent payments. This provision aims to protect tenants who have consistently paid their rent on time from having an eviction case, even if it was initiated, become a public record.
